LAST GAME
The SeaWolves went to extra innings for the second straight game, but came out on top this time as they beat the Richmond Flying Squirrels 2-1 in the opener of a six-game series at The Diamond on Tuesday night. The Squirrels jumped ahead in the bottom of the first inning against Erie starter Joey Wentz, scoring on a combination of a walk, a stolen base, a flyout, and a wild pitch. Erie promptly tied the game in the top of the second against Squirrels starter Aaron Blair as Dylan Rosa, in his first game back from Triple-A Toledo, blasted a two-out solo home run to left. The home run for Rosa was his seventh. The game remained tied into the 10th inning when the SeaWolves took their first lead of the night. Andre Lipcius was the free runner on second base. Rosa led off and singled up the middle on the first pitch, plating Lipcius for the go-ahead run. Joe Navilhon pitched a perfect tenth to lock in the save.
